Book excerpt: People with Parkinson's commonly have symptoms and problems unique to their condition that can interfere with daily activities. When initially diagnosed they all too often don't know what to do or where to turn. Even when not newly diagnosed, questions often still persist. This book, written specifically for them, clears up questions they may have regarding their self-help. It gives step by step instructions in properly handling daily activities like walking, getting out of bed or chairs, and other potentially problematic everyday movements. It also guides them in finding the optimal medical team to help them stay well. For caregivers there are easy-to-follow instructions in safely assisting a person with PD without jeopardizing themselves or the one they are helping. This book is also a helpful resource for physical therapists or health care professionals who are involved in the management of people with Parkinson's. It is filled with interventions and practical advice.
